these are labour party policies as well. labour party does not challenge brexit. ey say it is a good thing and we have to live with it. labour has not offered a different set of policies, i.e. we want to join -- rejoin the single government -- single market. conservatives are uniquely poor in their prognosis over the last seven years does not merit scrutiny. labour has not diverged. host: the fact is -- [overlapping voices] >> they have few division demons in the closet with brexit, union strikes, there are a few divisive issues in the labour party, were it to make it to a general election. afzal: what i said was to do with brexit. i am trying to say, how come with such high inflation, and it years of stagnation, and how is it for the last 12 years, the most growth in 200 years -- surely this is not all about brexit. i am bringing home the point the chaos at the heart of the government, failing to deal with the brexit issue as well. the idea of brexit is that everything will be fine. host: the question now is, labor also has --labour also has its divisions and does

the poll the unit is so b for the labour party right now, it looks like not even a case, as charles walkerd, 100 mps losing their seats, the conservative party is actually staring down an absolute existential crisis over whether ey exist as a political force right now, things are so bad. it is very unlikely there will be a general election now. i know a lot of viewers will want there to be a general election. of course the labour party wants there to be a general election. but i cannot see any circumstances, unless conservative mps decide that is the only way they can get rid of liz truss, but they will get rid of themselves at the same time. i do think we are looking at two and a half years away from an election. but remember this, people i don't think will ever forgive or forget the absolute anguish they have been through in the last few weeks since the mini budget, the worry of their bills going up, the feeling of instability in politics. that has bled through in how they are feelingbout the pound in their pocket. all of this chaos, the british public are not stupid. it will be very dif

because the truth is the labour party has become a very middle class party in recent years. there aren't that many people who've got your stories or your experience. yeah. and but the truth is there is also across the whole of the house, people that have come from working class backgrounds. but for some reason politicians don't talk about it, whether it's because they think, oh, you know, i do get levelled at me. it's angie talking about her again. it's not about me. it's about the experiences people like me have faced. and i think it's a good thing that people talk about their experience and background in that way. but for politicians, it's almost as if you're you're not good enough. you don't reach the bar. you know, i get so much abuse for people saying pregnant 16, no qualifications. she must be thick. well, clearly not thick because i wouldn't be where i am and one of the most successful politicians of my generation, you know, my ability and my achievements have been, by any measure, have been as good as anybody else, whether privately educated or not, phd or not. so i'

meanwhile, the labour party and other opposition parties are pushing for an immediate general election. we are joined now by george monbiot, an author, activist, and guardian columnist. his recent piece is headlined "i'm part of the 'anti-growth coalition' liz truss loves to hate -- and i'm proud of it." his latest book "regenesis: , feeding the world without devouring the planet." welcome back to democracy now! talk about what just happened. >> she had to go. what happened was liz truss applied purely old numeral -- you liberal theory and that would act as a kind of magic dust that would create massive growth and prosperity in this country just as neoliberal theory predicted. her policies were shaped by opaque leaf funded groups, institute of economic affairs, taxpayers alliance, adams institute center for policy studies -- all of which boasted on september 23 when her budget was published that they had gotten exactly what they wanted and they themselves were the authors of those policies. clearly, they are now trying to distance themselves. what they have been trying to do throughout

unsurprisingly, the labour party -- the labour party set -- >> so, more turbulent hold. >> watching all elements for us in london and beyond the tory party conference that is taking place this week in the city of birmingham in central england. pulse was in brazil have been left asking, what happened? predictions of a landslide in the presidential election did not materialize. sitting president jair bolsonaro still very much in the race. a slight lead is held by the challenger lula da silva. a second vote is scheduled october 30 to's -- to sort it out. >> hands held high, chanting their former president's name, there was much love in the streets for luis ignacio lula da silva. lula's hopes of winning in a single round were dashed, paving the way for a showoff with bolsonaro. victory on october 30 for the second round, they say, will be there's. >> we always believed we would win these elections. what i can tell you is that we are going to win these elections. this is just extra time for us. >> as ballots are being tallied, brazil's court announced lula had won over 48% of sunday's vote.

30 points is a very big leap by the labour party.ut i am sure the opposition will continue to press him in parliament on a number of issues and try to get him to get some consent of mp's -- that's what it would take. conservative mps of his government or the next government not being able to pass legislation for there to be indeed a general election. as far as we know, it is not coming anytime soon. marc: indeed. the call on labor to keep up the pressure along with the other opposition parties. as ever, thank you very much indeed. outside 10 downing street, where rishi sunak is assumed to be installed as the new prime minister of the u.k.. history making in many ways. first person not white, person of color, to be the leader of not just a british party, but of course, the prime minister of the country. so historical on that level and many challenges ahead. we will be analyzing those throughout our program. next, ukraine. kyiv is claiming more games of crown, taking back territory occupied by the russians, liberated by dutch from inva

this is what defines us and separates us from the labour party.onference, to grow the economy, we really need to do things differently. we know that it is our towns and cities which arrived much of our economic growth today. business investments, skills, science and technology, infrastructure, housing, energy supplies, strong financial services. these are the key ingredients for higher economic growth and well-funded public services. i have a great privilege of being is a secretary for two years. i visited every corner of this country. i saw the creativity, the drive, the entrepreneurial spirit. we have to celebrate our entrepreneurs, business people, job creators taking risk. but i also saw where government got in the way of progress. my job now is to free that potential. this starts with investment flows. we will empower local area to do things differently, just as here in birmingham, we will liberalize planning rules, releasing land and accelerate development. we will cut taxes for businesses in those zones. we will accelerate tax relief for ne

lots of talk over the weekend, the labour party now on an election footing, very clear. would not expect any other kind of rhetoric. is there a real risk of an interim election between now and the end of the term? alex: yeah, i think there is a growing chance of it. i think if you have a situation where a significant number of conservative mps or ministers a signal no confidence in the prime minister and you have a significant caucus in the tory party that says you cannot just change the prime minister again without reference to an election, it will perhaps trigger one, but the tories don't want an election right now. dani: i saw an interesting argument from the guardian that essentially said the tories should hold an election right now because essentially you get labor in charge of a very tough economic environment, meaning there is not permanent damage to the tories. what you make of that? alex: i think it is too clever by two thirds. anyone who try to protect the outcome of the next election in seven years time, they can't even tell you what the markets are going to d
